Weird lot of cards? what to do with these?

metalmike

I sometimes buy collections of lesser condition cards (for my collection) keeping the Reds and other cards that catch my eye-these cards are for my binder that I like to break out sometimes just to lookat and read -LOL anywho I have a group of 32 cards all Topps from 1953-1955. These cards are dogs worse than poor in fact due to that someone along the way has cut the team logos off the cards! WTF? when I was a kid I sometimes wrote the new team on the card if a guy got traded-but to cut the team logos off the cards is just weird! Anywho I don't know what to do with these puppies but I hate to just throw them away. I dunno -any suggestions? trade to a scrapbooker? If somone is doing a baseball themed scrapbook ? any ideas?

I thought about that but none of the kids I know like baseball at all they like Bball and football only especially a bunch of guys no one has heard of!

list them on ebay for $.01 and see if you can get a bid. You may be surprised. I am sure someone out there is looking for cheap cards like that to do something with. If nothing else ship them to me and I will find some use for them.

I remember someone on Ebay who sold a 1953 Topps set for just under $300 that literally looked like all the cards were thrown into the washer/dryer several times a year, ran over with a truck, and whatever else you can think of short of shooting with a BB gun. But nevertheless, the set was complete, all the cards were originals, and was quite the affordable alternative if you can't afford about $10,000 or more for a NRMT or better set. Though personally I like the 1954 set better

I would trade some vintage Reds I have for some vintage Red Sox if there are any
